FARE-REGISTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 504,731, dated September 12, 1893. Application led January 4, 1893. Serial No. 457.230. (No model.)

.To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES S. LEWIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waterbu ry, in the county of New I-Iaven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fare-Registers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the inventionfsuch as will enable others skilled in the artto which it appertains to makeand use the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in fare registers adapted more particularly for use in street cars, omnibuses, and otherpublic conveyances, its object being to provide a machine of this class which shall be simple, accurate, and compact.

In the accompanying drawings, forminga part of this specification, and in which the same letters of reference indicate the same or corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a plan view with the case removed. Fig. 2 isa front elevation. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section. Fig. 4 is an end elevation looking from the left hand of Fig. 1 with the standard omitted. Fig. 5 is a vertical section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 3, looking in the direction of the arrow. Fig. 6 is a partial bottom plan View showing the bell hammer, a part of the bell, and the hammer-operating mechanism. Fig. 7 is a detail side elevation of one of the ratchet wheels of the registering wheels, showing more particularly the manner in which the wire pawls carried by each wheel are pressed into engagement with the adjacent ratchet wheel by means of the detent spring thereof, and Fig. 8 is a detail side elevation of one of the ten-toothed star-wheels located upon each end of the main shaft, the yoke, and the pawl thereof engaging and revolving said star wheel ateach upward movement of the oper ating slide.

In the present invention I employ as the essential characteristics, suitable means wherebythe trip register can be reset at will to zero without affecting the totalizing register, by which means an accurate account of the total number of fares collected up to or below the registering capacity of the totalizing register may be kept regardless of the number of trips or of the number of times the trip register has been reset.

Referring to the drawings and more particularly to Figs. 1, 2, and 3 thereof, 1 denotes the base-plate designed to be secured to the Wall of the car or vehicle in the position shown in Fig. 1.

The mechanism is preferably inclosed in a suitable casing to prevent its being interfered with, or the collection of dust thereon, which would tend to interfere with its operation. This casing, which it is not deemed necessary to illustrate, is provided with sight slots through which numbers registered by the trip and totalizing registers may be viewed from without by the operator and occupants of the vehicle. Upon the base-plate 1, above referred to, is a slide-bar 2 designed to move thereon and constituting the prime-mover of the register. This slide is held in place and guided in its movement by a housing 3, and is operated by pull-cords 4 attached to the upper end thereof and extending to different points within the vehicle, easily accessible to the operator or conductor.

Projecting from the base-plate near the ends thereof are standards 5 and 6, which, taken in connection with the base-plate and standards 17, 18, and 19 presently described, constitute the frame for supporting the mechanism of the machine.

7 is the main shaft of the machine supported at its ends in the standards 5 and 6 and parallel to the base-plate 1. Upon this shaft the registering wheels, comprising the trip and the totalizing registers, are su pported.

The numerals 10 and 11 indicate respectively the units and the tens registering wheels of the trip register, each of which is provided on its periphery with numerals from 0 to 9 arranged iu order of their numeric value. The units Wheel 10 is secured to or integral with a sleeve 8 which is keyed on the shaft 7, while the tens wheel 11 is journaled on this sleeve 8 adjacent to the units wheel and in such manner as to permit its independent rotation with relation thereto. These wheels 10 and 11 have each secured thereto or integral therewith ten-toothed ratchet wheels 13 and 14 respectively, engaged by pawls 25 and 24, see Fig. 1, rigidly fixed on shaft 20, for retaining the registering wheels 10 and 11 against accidental movement.

The registering wheels 10 and 11 are formed hollow and each contains a spring 15, the ends of which are attached to the hubs Vf the wheels and .to posts 16, shown in Fig. 4,in such manner that at every forward movement of their respective registering wheels the tension of the springs is increased. Thus it will be seen that when it is desired to reset these registering wheels and 11 to zero, it may be accomplished by releasing the wheels from the pawls through mechanism presently described, and allowing the springs to act on the wheels, which action will return them to their initial position.

The numerals 17, 18, and 19 (see Fig. 2) denote standards projecting from the base-V plate 1.

Between and in the standards 17 and 18 is journaled a. short shaft 20, and between and in the standards 18 and 19 is journaled in like manner a similar shaft 21, said shafts, as appears in Fig. 4, being adjacent and parallel to the peripheries of the registering wheels of the trip and the totalizing registers.

The register wheels 10 and 11 have secured thereto ten-toothed ratchet wheels 9 and 12 respectively, located at the left of these wheels and adjacent toeach other. These ratchet wheels are engaged by detent springs 22 and 23 secured to a sleeve 23al (see Fig. 2) mounted loosely on the shaft 20, for retaining the wheels against accidental movement, and for the purpose presently described.

Secured rigidly on the shaft 20 is a collar 20having a pin 20b projecting from one side thereof, which engages a slot 23" in the loose sleeve 23. The object of this construction is to allow the shaft 20 and the lever 31 which is secured rigidly thereon, its upper end normally engaging the cam of the arm 26, to be rockedwithout affecting the detent springs 22 and 23 and thus keep them always in engagement with their respective ratchet wheels when the said shaft and lever are operated through the slide bar 2. This will be obvious from the fact that the pin 20"- is allowed to play in the slot 23b in the sleeve 23", as will also the object of this construction by reading what immediately follows.

(Figs. 1, 2, and 7) is a spring wire pawl secured on the ratchet wheel 9 and having its outer end provided with a toe which overhangs the ratchet Wheel 12 and isi normally out of contact therewith. This toe engages a tooth of the ratchet wheel 12 once in every complete revolution ofthe ratchet wheel 9 by reason of its being forced between the detent spring 23 and the periphery of said wheel 12 and hence into engagement with one of the teeth on said wheel. At the next movement of the ratchet wheel 9, the spring wire pawl 35, and the ratchet wheel 12, the pawl being in engagement therewith, are moved simultaneously a corresponding distance. This movement carries the pawl 35 out of engage ment with the detent spring 23, in consequence of which it springs back to its normal position out of engagement with the ratchet wheel 12, and does not again engage it until it performs a complete revolution and isbrought again under the action of the detent spring 23. Thus it will be seen that the tens register wheel l1 is caused to move only one step forward to every ten, or once at every complete revolution of the units wheel 10.

The numeral 26 designates a yoke composed of two parallel arms 26a and a connecting bar 27 (see Fig. 3), extending beneath and parallel to the peripheries of the registering wheels and connecting the arms 26. The arms 26a are journaled at their upper ends on the main shaft 7, and these upper ends are formedv into cams 30 and 45 (see Figs. 4 and 8 respectively). The cam 30 atthe left hand endof the' machine is engaged by a lever 31 secured on the shaft 20, and held normally in engagement with the concave portion of the cam by means of a spring 32 secured to a pin 32a of the rod 2O and to aprojection 32b on the base plate 1. Secured to an offset portion 26 of the arm 26'* is a spring pressed pawl 26 normally held in engagement with the ratchet wheel 9 of the registering wheel 10, this pawl being allowed to drag over the teeth of the wheel during the forward move ment of theyoke 26 and engage the next succeeding tooth of said wheel, which it moves one step as the yoke is returned to its normal position. The bar 27 of the yoke 26 is engaged by the arms 2S of Athe'slide or prime- ICO mover 2 and consequently the movement' thereof is effected through the slide 2, which moves in opposition to a spring 33 secured to the base-plate 1 and to a depending lug 62 of the slide 2, as is clearly shown in Fig. 5, and which will be more fully described presently. From this it will be Seen that when the yoke 26 is rocked forward through the slide orprimemover 2 the shaft 2O will be revolved in an opposite direction to the movement of the yoke by the action of the cam 30 of the arm 26a on the lever 31, and consequently the pawls 24 and 25 will be thrown out of engagement with the ratchet wheels 13and 14 independent of the detent springs 22 and 23 which remain stationary, allowing said ratchet wheels to rotate freely, until the yoke is returned to its normal position, when the said pawls are again thrown into engagement with their respective ratchet wheels, locking them against movement until the yoke is again moved by the slide 2.

The numerals 36, 37, 38, and 39 denote the registering wheels of the totalizing register. These wheels are each provided with numerals from O to 9 0n their peripheries, arranged in the order of their numeric value, and are loosely mounted on the main shaft 7 to the right of the trip registering wheels 10 and 1l.

36 is the units Wheel of the totalizing register wheels and carries aten-toothed ratchet wheel 40 arranged near one end of the main shaft 7. The shaft 21 journaled in the standards 18 and 19 of the base plate, carries a lever 42 of the same construct-ion and for the same purpose as the lever 31 at the opposite end of the machine.

43 are detent pawls engaging the ratchet wheels 44 on each of the registering wheels 36, 37, 38, and 39, and carried on theshaft 21, the operation, construction and function of which being the same with reference to the totalizing register wheels as the pawls 24 and 25 have with reference to the trip registering wheels and 11.

The arms 26 (at the right hand end of the machine) of the yoke 26 likewise is formed 'cam-shaped at its upper end as seen at 45,

(Fig. 8) and is engaged by the lever 42 of the shaft 2l upon which it acts in the same manner and simultaneously with the lever 31 and shaft 20. A spring 42a (see Fig. 1) is secured to said lever42 and to the base plate for holding the former always in contact with the cam45.

The arm 20" carries a spring-pressed pawl 4l identical in construction and arrangement with the pawl 26C, which pawl 4l engages and operates the ratchet wheel 40 as the pawl 26c operates the ratchet wheel 9 of the units wheel 10, and turns the units wheel 36 of the totalizing register.

From the above description it will be seen that the mechanism for operating the trip and totalizing registers is identical in construction and operation, the units wheelsof both registers being operated simultaneously by the slide 2 through the yoke 26.

The units wheel 36 is mounted rigidly ou a long sleeve 46 or is integral therewith, the other end of which sleeve bears a ten-toothed wheel 47. The tens wheel 37 is mounted rigidly on a similar sleeve 48 but shorter than the sleeve 46, and is journaled thereon, the outer extremity bearing a ten-toothed wheel 49 arranged to the right of and adjacent to the wheel 47. The hundreds wheel 38 is mounted rigidly upon a shorter sleeve 50 than that of the tens wheel, which is journaled upon the sleeve 48, and bears upon its end a ten-toothed wheel 51 arranged to the right of and adjacent to the wheel 49. Upon the out side of the sleeve 50 is journaled the thousands wheel39, free to rotate thereon. rlhehub of this wheel bears another ten-toothed wheel 52 arranged adjacent to the wheel 51. All of t-hese toothed wheels are of the same diameter and each of them necessarily travels with its registering wheel, being integral therewith. Each of these toothed wheels 47, 49, 51, and 52 is provided with a spring wire pawl 35a (see Figs. 2 and 3) similarly constructed and operated in the same manner as the pawl 35 previously described, they being pressed into engagement at proper intervals by the detent springs 54 by which each toothed wheel is engaged and in the manner illustrated in Fig. 7. From this construction it will be Seen that suddenly against the bell 55.

the tens-wheel will be moved only one step to each ten of the units-wheel, the hundreds wheel one step to each ten of the tens-wheel, orto everyhundred of theunitswvheel, and the thousands-wheel one step to every ten of the hundreds-Wheel.

At each registration of a fare a bell 55 is caused to ring. This bell is attached tothe reverse side of the base plate 1 from that on which the registering mechanism is mounted.

The mechanism whereby the 'ringing of the bell is effected is clearly illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, and consists of a hub 56 having integral therewith two oppositely-disposed arms 57 and 58, and a bell-striking lever 59 on the end of which the bell hammer 60 is disposed. The arm 57 extends over a slot 34in the base plate 1 and is in the line of movement of the depending lug 62 pivoted to the slide 2 at 63,

and extending 'through the slot 34, so that when the slide 2 is pulled upward the lug 62 will engage tho arm 57 and carry it in the same direction until it reaches a point where it is allowed to spring past the lug and back to its normal position. ment ot the arm, 57 is effected bya spring 63a attached tothe arm 58 and to the base plate 1, and causes the bell hammer 60 to be thrown Upon the return of the slide 2 to its normal position by the spring 33 previously described, the lug62 will drag over the arm 57 without affecting it, by reason of its being pivoted at 63 and being capable of movement in this one direction.

To elect the resetting of the trip register wheels 10 and 11 to zero and to allow the springs 15 to be free to act thereon, I employ a releasing slide 64 mounted onthe left hand end surface of the base plate 1. This slide is provided with lugs 65 and 66, the former of This return move- Y which projects from the upper face of the slide and engages the tail piece 26d of the pawl 26e, and the latter projects through a slot 66a (see Figs. 2 and 4) in the` base plate l and engages the lower ends of the detent springs 22 and 23 which extend through the base plate l and project from the rear thereof. These springs which are secured rigidly on the loose sleeve 23, are held normally in engagement with the ratchet wheels 9 and 12, as has been described by springs 72 secured thereto and to the base plate 1, (Fig. 4.)

The lower end of the slide 64 is provided with a guide slot 67, see Fig. 1 which is engaged by a stud 68, to limit the downward movement of the slide, while the other or upper end of the said slide is pivotally connected by means of a pin 69 to a projection 70 of the handle-lever 71, which lever in turn is pivoted by means of a stud 71 to the base plato 1. This mechanism brings the releasing mechanism directly under the control of the releasing slide 64, which when actuated by the handlever 71 will forcibly engage the lugs 65 and 66 with the pawl 26 and the detent springs 22 and 23 respectively, throwing them out of engagement with the wheels 10 and 11, where- IIO upon said wheels will be returned to zero by the stored-up tension of the springs 15. When these detent springs are disengaged from their respective ratchet Wheels through thereleasing slide, the sleeve 23 in which said springs are secured, is rocked by reason of the said springs being secured thereon, a greaterdistance than the length of the slot 23b therein, and the pin 20" on the collar is engaged by the upper side of the said slot against which it normally rests, in consequence of which the shaft 20 and its detent pawls 24 and 25 are rocked with the sleeve 23a and the latter thrown out of engagement with their ratchet wheels simultaneously with the detent springs 22 and 23. Fromthis itwill be seen that the detentsprings 22, 23, 24, and 25 and the pawl 26c may be operated and thrown out of engagement with their respective wheels simultaneously only by the action of the releasing slide 64 thereon. In the event of the springs 15 failing to acton the trip registering wheels 10 and 11, they may be returned to theirinitial positions, by turning the handle 7 of the shaft 7 which, owing to the sleeve S being keyed thereon, allows the trip registering wheels to be turned back.

The operation of the fare register is as follows: Supposing all of the wheels of the totalizing and the trip registers at zero, the slide 2 will operate the mechanism heretofore described and cause asimultaneous registering of the units wheels 10 and 36 of each of -the series situated one on each side of said slide bar. The car to which the device is attached having completed its first round-trip, the total number of fares will be registered both on the trip and the totalizing wheels. This number will not, of course, exceed 99, but usually less than this number will amply suice for an ordinary trip. The wheels of the trip register will then be returned to zero without affecting the wheels of the totalizing register, bymeans of the releasing or tripping mechanism heretofore referred to. Again starting the car with the wheels l0 and 11 at zero these wheels will at the completion of the trip give a correct and instantaneous reading of the amount of fares taken, while at the same time the total of that trip and the preceding ones are registered on the totalizing wheels. It will be readily understood that the capacity of the trip register wheels situated at the left of the slide bar 2 may be increased by adding additional wheels thereto.
